Check-out data.dm with SKILL

ivick

I am creating CDF parameters by using a SKILL module, however only when one view is already cheked out  before running the SKILL module (such as a schematic), the new CDF parameters created by the SKILL module are correctly added, otherwise the new CDF parameters are lost because there is no way to check them in.

 I realized that when you edit manually the CDF parameters by using the CDF-Edit form from the virtuoso menu, the data.dm is checked-out, so I guess that if I check out the data.dm in the same SKILL module before to create the new CDF parameters then they will be correctly added and the user will can check them in, but I could not find information about how to check out the data.dm by using SKILL.

Please let me know If there is another way to add CDF parameters without having any cell checked out beforehand.

 

Thanks.

    Could use:

    bag=dbOpenBag(ddGetObj("opamp090" "adc_sample_hold") "a")

    and then this would prompt you to auto-checkout the property bag (or not prompt, depending on your preferences).

    Or you could do:

    file=ddGetObj("opamp090" "adc_sample_hold" nil "data.dm")
    ddAutoCheckout(file)

    which would prompt you again. Or:

    file=ddGetObj("opamp090" "adc_sample_hold" nil "data.dm")
    ddCheckout(file)

    which would just check it out.

    Regards,

    Andrew
